Answer:
Sunami was a natural.It is like a flood
Explanation:
The earthquake and tsunami of Dec. 26, 2004 combined to create a disaster in Asia that is among the worst in recorded history. Though significant tsunamis are rare, it was not the first event of its kind.
Tsunamis have proven incredibly deadly in the past. In 1896 a tsunami caused 27,000 deaths in Japan. A combination of earthquake, fire and tsunami centered around Lisbon, Portugal killed 60,000 people in 1755.
Just two weeks before the Asian catastrophe, scientists revealed the threat of a megatsunami in the Pacific Ocean that could be triggered by a subsea landslide. In recent days, other researchers warned of the potential for a 9.0-magnitude earthquake and tsunami that could hit the West Coast of the United States. There is a warning system in the Pacific, and now officials in India plan to set one up. Also, the United States now is planning to set up a global tsunami warning system.
Tsunamis from near-shore earthquakes can begin striking a coast within minutes, however.
For a tsunami triggered by an earthquake in the Cascadia fault zone off the U.S. West Coast, some residents would have about 15 minutes to get to high ground, says Robert Yeats, professor emeritus of geosciences at Oregon State University.
